Interesting concept, hydronics! I'll have to try it out during the spring build up later this year.Here are some colony insect quotes:http://bijlmakers.com/insects/insect-proverbs-and-...http://www.buzzaboutbees.net/bee-quotes.htmlhttps://www.google.co.nz/search?q=quote+colony+ins...

Good to know, thanks Caitlin, and good to hear. Castrating and docking used to be done with a knife, hot iron, or rubber rings, but without anaesthetic.It's possibly more of a modern technique, then, or perhaps country-specific: where are you?

Ah. Good points, thanks.I'll have to get more glue (I use Ados contact adhesive), and will update you once I've finished.Oooh! I might see if the local bike shop has some old mountain bike tyres: wider and more knobbly.

I've been wanting to resole my work boots after the tread just peeled off, but car and truck tyres are too thick to use easily. I think your multiple-strips-of-bike-tyre might be just the trick thanks!

Brilliant idea, rutcorn!Although I'm right-handed, some years ago I was getting RSI due to computer mousing but swapping the mouse to left-hand mode annoyed my right-handed wife. I eventually learned to mouse left-handed with a right-mode mouse: https://www.instructables.com/id/Become-an-ambidext...Lithium Rain has a good 'ible on this also: https://www.instructables.com/id/Train-yourself-to-...

Given that NamJ1's two "dulichkythu" links lead to a Korean travel website, I'm calling SPAM!

I am right-handed, but like cannae216 I needed to learn left-handed mousing to mitigate RSI. I wrote an Instructable about this five years ago (although Lithium's is way more detailed!): https://www.instructables.com/id/Become-an-ambidext...

That's good to hear Paul and thanks for replying! I hadn't thought to add the note taking, but now that you mention it, I do that also (in left-mouse mode). You might also like to see Lithium Rain's more recent https://www.instructables.com/id/Train-yourself-to-...

The foil idea definitely works: I have used it to fix our TV remote volume buttons. The only problem is that I have not been able to get the foil to stay stuck on.I've used both superglue and UHU with the same results. I have a feeling that this is possibly because our foil is "non-stick" as I realised today. Ordinary foil may be betterHaving seen Antzy Carmasaic's comment (and then DabeAltis's) inhttps://www.instructables.com/id/Fixing-Non-Working-Buttons-of-Any-Remote-Control/?ALLSTEPS, I've just applied a dab of UHU to each button's pad and sprinkled powdered pencil graphite over them while the glue was still wet. I then tamped the powder into the glue with the graphite end of the pencil. Experimentation proved that one needs to carefully remove all the powder fromeverywher...
